“Room for an overnight in Negombo”
This is more of a bed & breakfast as opposed to a hotel but nonetheless, a good location for one night after landing in CMB airport (it’s not too far). It’s two roads back from the beach and there are various restaurants nearby. The room was simple, the bathroom somewhat dated but clean. The bed had a mosquito net, which was needed considering every time the door was opened, they would fly in. The room had a kettle and tiny cups. The owner was responsive via the message function on booking.com. Originally had asked them to organise a pick up from the airport but the price quoted was higher than others.

“A very nice welcome to Sri Lanka”
It's a simple but nice hotel, the first stop of our trip. The family that runs it is super friendly, welcoming and helpful! We got a fruit juice when we arrived and they also made a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast in the morning. They also helped with any problems/ questions we had. The rooms are clean and have good AC, a mosquito net and a fridge. The bathroom looked a little bit older, but the water was hot and the water pressure was good! The hotel is good value for your money.

Fantastic service from Don and his family. Rooms are nice and dark, clean and quiet. Mosquito nets and aircon for the rooms. Don organized my airport driver and a driver to my next location. Very helpful and friendly. Loved my stay here. Also delicious breakfast!
